So, It's True

I was teasing someone just now about having to withhold the
amount of words used in a day. It reminded me of something I
read years ago..
Ladies, the next time the man in your life complains you talk
too much, silence him with science.
Tell him - at length, of course - it is all because of the Foxp2
protein.
It has been claimed previously that women speak about 20,000
words a day - some 13,000 more than the average man.
US researchers found that those with more Foxp2, known as the
‘language protein’, in their brains were the
chattier. Among humans that was women, but in rats it was the
males.
The researchers set out to determine what might make male rats
more vocal than their female cage mates. They separated
four-day-old pups from their mothers and counted the number of
times they cried out.
Both male and female pups emitted hundreds of cries, but the
males called out twice as often. As a result, when the pups were
put back in the same cage as their mother, she fussed over her
sons first. ( [color=black]I always knew they were more wimpy )
Studies have shown that the female love of chit-chat begins at a
young age. Girls learn to speak earlier and more quickly than
boys.
Dr. Louann Brizendine, clinical professor of psychiatry at the
University of California, San Francisco states in ``The Female
Brain" that ``A woman uses about 20,000 words per day while a
man uses about 7,000."

I do remember reading years ago that if a woman doesn't get her
20,000 word in a day...she will get depressed but won't know why
she feels depressed.
I can't verify this. Some days I go all day with only a couple
of sentences...so I am not sure how valid all this is! But
maybe I would go totally mad if I didn't have this Site, Mike's
and Facebook too...maybe it counts for my "words" per day!! :D

I don't know what to say about this. :D
I have known some chatty girls over the years, and some of the
shy, elusive types . . .
They are interesting . . .
Perhaps it is the ensemble of the passions of the speakers that
dictate the amount of words they say, and not the genes . . .
Peace be with you all!
